Edge is an alternative rock band from Houston, Texas.

Career

Edge was formed in 1997 by guitarist Nolan J. Vander Haagen and drummer Alex Serrano. As teenagers, their sound was cultivated by rage and youth ignorance. Within a few years and only a few shows, Edge released their first album "Criticize". Edge continued to play shows all around the Houston area and in other Texas cities. At the time, Edge had participated in numerous local and national competitions, receiving third place in a nationwide Big Break Music Festival held in Grand Junction, Colorado in November 2000.

In 2001 Carl Beatty joined the line up to add even more aggression and passion to the sound. In 2003, the band went back into the studio to record its second full length album entitled "As She Runs". With a successful second album the band took a short break to participate in other musical projects. Edge regrouped in 2004, adding their fourth member, Tommy Vanos. Vanos helped to redirect Edge to the heart of rock music with his compassion. In 2006 Edge released the album "Fight". In 2007, Caveh Masum, an eccentric guitarist with Greek and Persian ancestors, was added to the line-up and the band was finally complete. Edge went back in the studio to work on their 4th full length album, entitled "Venus in Furs". The CD release was completed by late Summer of 2008, and they are currently touring and promoting the new album.

Edge has played with many bands such as Fuel, Hoobastank, Flyleaf, Earshot, Pressure 4-5, Pushmonkey, Blue October and the Hunger. The most recent project was an acoustic album named "Revision", which included redefined sounds of older Edge songs. All of the albums are written and produced by Edge.

Career success

Guitarist and singer Nolan J. Vander Haagen made a musical contribution to the Ice Cube album "War & Peace - Volume 1 (The War Disc)" track, "The Peckin' Order". The album sold over a million copies worldwide.
